For more than ten years, before his untimely death in 2000, Marlin VanElderen served as editor of the acclaimed WCC magazine One World. Particularly through his thought-provoking and incisive editorials he succeeded in making One World a widely appreciated source of information and reflection about the ecumenical movement. This book is a selection of these editorials. Rooted in biblical faith, they tell and interpret the story of the complexity of unity in the widest sense of the word.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Marlin VanElderen was a rare ecumenical treasure. Rooted deeply in a strong Reformed tradition, he was nonetheless able to engage with the rest of the church and, indeed, help the church to engage with the rest of the world as a 'community of moral discourse' as he put it." -- Jim Wallis, Editor-in-Chief of Soujourners Magazine, USA. "These elegant moving meditations arrest one's attention with their opening close observation of some concrete happening: often whimsical, sometimes quirky, now and then biting. And then they open up into wide realms of profound Christian truth and meaning. What a rich legacy -- from one untimely gone." -- Nicholas Wolterstorff, Professor of Philosophical Theology at Yale Divinity School, USA.
